I can see this being popular at CostCo. You could order a pizza while you pump your gas, and have your order ready by the time you drop by their foodcourt.
I could see that, but I could also see just doing that on your phone while you pump.
My hands are usually preoccupied while pumping and looking at my phone.
From the viewpoint of Costco, "Out of sight, out of mind" would be the concern.
Costco is the only place in my area that doesn’t blast loud ads at the gas pumps.
